This is a really good game

The Cubs vs The White Sox are on right now. Ted Lilly gave up a hit in the 9th to break up his no hit bid. The White Sox pitcher gave up a hit in the 7th to break up his no hit bid. The score is 1-0 Cubs and I'm rooting for the Cubs to win. They're in the same division as the Pirates but that doesn't even matter right now. I think we all know that the Pirates won't make a run.

I love Sunday night baseball.

Comparing prices on gold coins

I'm looking to increase the value of my portfolio while diversifying across different asset classes. One thing I'm looking to do now is to buy gold coins from a reputable source. I've looked at a online auction site but their prices are ridiculously high. The prices they want aren't' even competitive with the market place.

I've also looked at a tv show but their coins aren't always as advertised which leaves me with US Gold Bureau which sells coins or ingots. Ingots are ingots of bullion cast. I can have the coins delivered directly to me which is very convenient. If the price of gold keeps rising and I decide I want to cash out the gold, I'll have the physical coins in my possession.

When you consider that they have very competitive prices as well as being America's best dealer, I guess you can see why I'm going with US Gold Bureau.
